Megan Fox excitedly held the videotape in her hand, on which was written "Rowan Stark" in flamboyant style. An inexplicable light flashed in her bright big eyes, and a smile appeared involuntarily on her pretty face.
The parents smiled at each other and whispered in the little girl's ear: "We will return to New York in six months. Where are you going to go to play?"
The little girl shook her head slightly, blinked her big eyes, then suddenly raised her head and said in a soft voice:
"I want to learn Martial arts, the kind that's really cool..."
"Hahaha... take you to the martial arts gym to have a look!" The father patted his daughter's shoulder gently, then showed a hearty smile.
Megan Fox seemed very happy, but she was thinking about that face in her mind and couldn't help feeling happy.

As soon as Rowan returned to the room, a clear and pleasant phone call sounded, and a joyful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Rowan, I saw your interview. You looked so handsome today."
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Rowan chuckled and replied, "Well, I know I'm handsome, so beautiful Miss Britney, have you been waiting for me until now? Why did you leave without b meeting me first? And if you left Why didn't you go to bed first?"
"I had a curfew so I couldn't stay late but I don't want to go to bed so early. Also, I miss you. The new song you sent me is really great. But I still need to practice it well, otherwise I may not be able to sing it well."
Rowan wrote and drew one of her future songs for her so he didn't care much about it, he put the phone to his ear and said in an expectant tone, "Oh? Then, will you share your beautiful singing voice with me?"
"Hey, of course I am willing. I will sing it for you right now, but I have to keep my voice down, otherwise Dad will be angry again."
The chat between the two continued until 12 o'clock late in the night. At Rowan's advice, the little queen Britney hung up the phone reluctantly. Getting enough sleep is more conducive to nourishing and protecting the skin. These are Rowan's original words.
The real reason was that another phone call came in quickly, and Mary's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone:
"The advance box office figures are out, 5 million US dollars, a pretty impressive number, and the film critics' reviews are also quite good, especially the audience's reviews, the average score is also A! According to calculations by relevant people, the first day box office on Friday is estimated to reach more than 15 million US dollars."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Rowan said in an expectant tone, "So should our box office revenue for the three days this week reach 45 million US dollars?"
Mary on the other side seemed quite excited. Even through the phone, he could sense from the name that the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were released a little bit. He chuckled and then said:
"If that's the case, then I can have a good sleep. I also hope that the U.S. box office can exceed 180 million U.S. dollars. In this way, I can get my 1 million bonus. You should also go to bed early!"
After a slight hesitation, Mary on the other end of the phone said "hmm you have hundreds of millions of dollars and you care about the 1 million bonus. Elizabeth told me that you are a genius in Share market as well so why care about this."
"You know rich remain rich because they care about every penny they earn" tiffen stated with a chuckle.
Mary "hmm" softly and then cut the phone.
Soon after, other members of the crew also called to inform and express their feelings about this very good result. Terence Chang even said confidently: "Hahaha, if we're lucky enough, you'll get a bigger red envelope. Starting tomorrow for two weeks, we have to carry out nationwide publicity."
Rowan naturally agreed, because Mary had already communicated with the crew of "Saving Private Ryan", and Rowan's fame was rising even more.
At the same time, "Face/Off" is also showing signs of being a big hit at the box office, and they can also take advantage of this wave of popularity to provide free publicity for the crew of "Saving Private Ryan".
Good wine needs no bush, right?
joke!
Every movie that is a box office hit is the result of a huge amount of money invested in publicity. The funds used for publicity are sometimes as much as the filming costs, and may even exceed them.
Even now there is evidence that "Jurassic Park", which tops the movie box office list, was produced by Universal Pictures in cooperation with Spielberg, promoting various books about "Jurassic Park", conducting advance warm-up, and finally, of course, the overwhelming advertising and newspaper publicity, to achieve the current box office?
Rowan knows and understands very well that all this is inseparable from financial support, so all kinds of publicity are naturally indispensable.
After talking to everyone on the phone, Rowan washed up and lay down on the bed.
The next day Rowan went to the headquarters of Paramount Studios The crew members of the "Face/Off" production had already been waiting here, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
Soon, John Woo and Terence Chang drove over, and then quickly gathered the main actors and began to explain the promotional itinerary and plan.
Soon, the crew, pressed for time, began to head towards the airport, where the plane, which had been prepared long ago, was waiting for the passengers to board.
Rowan was just chatting with some of the crew members when they heard someone talking behind them.
"Haha, 13 million! It's only noon now, I think we can reach 18 million US dollars!"
Nicolas Cage came out from behind them directly, with an undisguised smile on his face, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
The two of them quickly boarded the plane while chatting. Rowan glanced at the clouds below and said in an expectant tone, "Where are we going next? Houston?"
"Don't worry, man. We are going to go around the whole territory. It will be a very tiring journey. Be fully prepared!"
Nicolas Cage put on a blindfold, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, spread his hands and fell asleep on the seat. Chen Hu rubbed his eyebrows, and then began to recall the many memories in his mind. The roar of the engine echoed slightly in his ears.
"The action movie Face/Off, starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, grossed $18.3 million on its first day of release. Economic experts predict that Face/Off's first-week box office is likely to exceed $55 million."
"Famous film critic Charles Clark commented on Face/Off, saying that it is a film full of great fighting skills, but director John Woo used an easy- to-understand method to present it, full of action scenes of violent aesthetics, which makes people's blood boil. Now I strongly recommend it to all movie fans."
"This is a great action movie that will spark a crazy Martial arts craze - ABC TV!"
"Amazing confrontation, confusion and wonder after exchanging identities, a wonderful movie worth watching - Fox TV!"
Three days later!
New York, Hilton Hotel.
Rowan drank the fragrant champagne in one gulp, and then put the empty glass aside. Just like before, he did not add any alcohol because Rowan was not yet 21 years old and was still under the age where drinking was prohibited.
The companions around him all had smiles on their faces. Nicolas Cage was so excited that he started singing loudly. People laughed and then looked at the tone-deaf Nicolas Cage with teasing eyes.
"Okay, okay, let me say a few words!"
Terence raised his glass and stood up, his face slightly flushed, as if all the pressure had been released. He said with some emotion: "It's all thanks to everyone's support along the way. After the promotion plan is over, everyone will be able to receive bonuses and red envelopes, so everyone must work harder next time!"
A burst of ghostly cheers quickly echoed in the hall. Rowan tapped the table lightly and turned his head to look at John Woo, who was smiling. The latter sighed slightly:
"US$60 million in three days, although not as much as Jurassic Park's US$87 million, it's enough for Face/Off to compete for the top 3 of this year's box office charts. However, Jurassic Park 2 is very powerful, so I guess we will have a good fight."
Shrugging his shoulders lightly, Rowan naturally would not tell director John Woo that although the second part of "Jurassic Park" was also a box office hit, the total global box office was only barely over 600 million US dollars.
However, at the end of December, there is still a weathered ship waiting to set sail.
After thinking for a while, Rowan continued, "I hope our performance in the second week will be stable. What about our overseas publicity plan?"
With a faint smile, John Woo pointed at Nicolas Cage who was singing loudly, and John Travolta who was not very happy beside him. After sighing, he continued:
"John has big ambitions and wants to hit the $20 million club, but I think he's too impatient, and I am a little impatient as well."
